Dead Letter Society
Dead Letter Society is a journaling game where players create letters and answer prompts to drive the action. The game adapts to different genres, can be played solo or in two-player formats with pre-generated settings that include Victorian steampunk London (with vampires), ancient Rome during its reign of power, modern 1920's detectives investigating crimes committed by a notorious criminal boss named Scarface Alcatraz, and futuristic worlds where tarot cards become the dominant form of currency. The game comes fully illustrated in an A5 format with 140 pages featuring original artwork inspired by Tarota card games designed specifically for Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2™ players to enjoy solo or two-player play through six pre-generated settings, such as Victorian steampunk London and ancient Rome during its reign of power. Players use a safety tool (e.g., paper clips), an envelope holder filled with letters they've written themselves for the purpose, tarot cards from their deck at random to help develop ideas or choose specific actions in each game session based on intention-based prompts that can be tailored according to any setting and character of choice within all six pre-generated settings.
